This was a great deal through Expedia for seven nights and accommodation and flights. We arrived middle of the night and the travel arranged by the staff was seamless. From the 20 minute drive from airport to the five minute ferry trip to the island. We were very thankful for John who was very gracious and assured us that it wasn't a hassle being available to ferry us across after midnight. Our villa was incredibly spacious for two people with a porch overlooking turquoise waters which provided hours of great snorkeling for us during our stay. When we weren't snorkeling, we were lazing in the balcony reading,enjoying the sound of the ocean, and local children laughing across the waters. The humidity was tempered by the ocean breeze which helped dry our clothes quickly. The wifi worked amazing considering it's an island. The staff however are the main asset of this resort. I can't say enough about them. The grounds are gorgeous and immaculately kept. They are always warm, welcoming and incredibly attentive, especially in the restaurant. The lovely Annie will make you feel like a special guest every morning at breakfast, Natalie will check in on you during breakfast and answer questions and provide information. The music played at the restaurant also added to the holiday vibes. Put your privilege and entitlement aside Western travellers, and don't forget to show your appreciation for the care provided by resilient and hardworking Vanuatuan people for your holiday enjoyment.

The ultimate Island Paradise. From the moment we say the picture of the island we knew we wanted to stay there. It didn't disappoint mostly. The welcome, the staff, the food, the view right outside our door, the snorkeling, the peace and quiet for relaxing all 5 star. The food was fantastic, fresh and tasty. The only slight disappointment was the villas. Very dated, broken taps and door handles, bathroom old and needed updating and we felt the accommodation was way overpriced - but the position and to be able to walk out the back door into the lagoon to snorkel and see tropical fish made up for it. All in all the most memorable relaxing holiday. Highly recommend.

Boat transfer. Quiet. Friendly staff. Didn’t like: no tv, very bad chef for breakfast, tiny room, rooms very expensive compared to other hotels and comparable quality of resorts.

My family (2 adults, 2 kids) stayed at Erakor Island for 8 nights in January 2023. The resort is on its own island, which is a 5 minute free ferry ride from the jetty in Efate, which itself is about a 15 minute bus ride from the centre of Port Vila. The island is stunningly beautiful, with crystal blue waters surrounding the coconut and palm jungle. The resort is very low scale and laid back - accommodation is in a series of detached buildings scattered around the island, with shared facilities including the restaurant, pool area and a few mixed purpose huts. Given the relative isolation of the island, we ate most meals in the resort's restaurant. Food quality and variety was good and the value was fair. Service was sometimes on "island time" but always extremely friendly. Breakfast (both buffet and al a carte options) are included in the room rate. For me and the kids the highlight of the island was the water sports. Snorkelling gear and kayaks/canoes/paddleboards are all available to borrow for as long as you want for no additional charge. The snorkelling around the island was quite impressive, with a large range of tropical fish, coral and plentiful giant starfish. We stayed in a garden 2 bedroom unit. This was comfortable but with a weird layout, as you need to go through the bathroom to get from one bedroom to the other. There is no living area in this unit, so you need to sit outside or on the bed if you want to escape the sun or rain. Overall a fantastic trip!

Very welcoming staff who make each day enjoyable. Relaxing vibe with lots of activites available. Rooms were comfortable and spread out across the island.

Absolute piece of paradise. Enjoyed every minute of being at Erakor. It was so hard to leave. The staff felt like the family you never had. So much warmth and kindness

Great location and snorkelling. Easy layed back environment Lovely staff and enjoyable for the kids. Even better the wifi and tech was basic. Perfect for a quiet island getaway

The property description of our chosen room on Woyif was not correct and we bought this to the attention on the property manager who promptly relocated us to a room more like the description we chose. This was handled well, but poor water pressure in the shower most mornings and a saggy bed were not ideal. The staff were amazingly great and helpful and the dining options were very nice with 5 star service and a team who went out of there way to make you feel welcome. All up a very nice resort but not quite what I expected for waht we paid. But rooms appear to be at capacity at all times, so they seem to have it right for the market.

Amazing staff, great with the kids. It felt like you were staying with family. Clean facilities and amazing snorkeling

Great attentive staff, a very lovely and relaxing island

Friendly helpful staff in a slice of paradise

Excellent staff made you feel important. Always smiling and joking. They were very accommodating. Very relaxing lots of day trippers coming to see what they were missing out on. Intend on going back next year. Hopefully with the whole family.

We had the best stay at Erakor. From the moment you get to the resort it feels like paradise. The location, the water, the staff…it was all amazing. Sitting back at night listening to the water slowly roll in just outside the window was unforgettable. Can not recommend this place high enough

We had a beautiful relaxing week holiday at Erakor Island Resort. Our pool/spa room was fabulous and the staff very attentive and friendly. The food was great too. We loved using the kayaks and going snorkeling from the island. We’d definitely recommend staying here.

We had an amazing stay, knowing they were just opening after covid we knew things wouldn’t be full capacity but they made every effort to give us the full experience. The staff go above and beyond, they just made the trip phenomenal. Our bungalow was clean and gorgeous and opened onto the beach. Plenty to do on the island, and the Melanesian feast night was wonderful! Pizza and movie night on the beach was a great night too! We will defiantly be back!

Great location, wonderful views, tasty food and friendly service. Our room was tidy, cozy, but a bit small to my liking. Next time will definitely upgrade to a room with private deck.

We reserved (and was charged for) three rooms for three nights just after the cyclone that hit Vanuatu. We were going there to help with the recovery effort. Not only was the hotel in no condition to receive guests, it took six weeks to get my money refunded.

Erakor is a great hotel/resort and overall we were very happy with our stay. Very easy access but the only things that could be improved would be air conditioning, as the rooms, especially the 'garden' ones, were a bit hot and stuffy at night and the windows aren't big enough to let the breeze in and cool down.

Thanks to all the staff!!
